I shook my head violently, physically trying to dislodge the doubt. That was what they wanted. They wanted me to question myself, to fail, to prove their ugly assumptions correct.

Screw that.

I grabbed my phone and purse, needing air, needing space to think away from these four walls that suddenly felt suffocating. The Cornerstone files could wait an hour.

Outside, the morning sun hit my face, warm and reassuring.

I walked for a while, letting my feet carry me without any real destin

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 324

    OliviaAlexander stood near the helm, speaking with Captain Reynolds about something I couldn't hear. The afternoon sun caught his profile, highlighting the strong line of his jaw. I walked to the railing, gripping the polished chrome as the yacht began moving. We glided out of the marina smoothly, the water parting in gentle waves around the bow. Other boats bobbed in their slips as we passed, their owners waving from their decks. The motion was surprisingly smooth for such a large vessel. I'd expected more rocking, more sense of movement, but the yacht cut through the water like butter. "Champagne?" Alexander appeared beside me, two flutes in hand. "Since when did we have champagne ready?" "Captain Reynolds is thorough." He handed me a glass, the bubbles catching the light. "He knows what I like." I accepted the flute and took a small sip. The champagne was cold and crisp, probably expensive beyond belief. "This is incredible." "Just wait until we're in open water." He gestur

    OliviaWe hit a few more balls before Alexander glanced at his watch. "We should probably head out soon. It's almost noon." "Already?" I looked around, surprised to see the range had filled up while we practiced. "Time flew." "Always does when you're having fun." He started gathering our clubs. "There's a place near here that makes incredible burgers." We returned the clubs to the pro shop, where the attendant complimented my improvement. "She's a natural," Alexander said. "Hardly." But I couldn't help smiling. In the parking lot, Alexander opened the car door but didn't step back. "You did great today." "Thanks for teaching me. Even if you were thoroughly distracting the entire time." "Me? Distracting?" His hand found my waist. "I was the picture of professionalism." "Your hands were all over me." "Teaching proper form," he defended. "Completely innocent." "Nothing about you is innocent." "True." He leaned in, his lips brushing mine. "Especially not what I'm thinking righ

    OliviaFor the next twenty minutes, I hacked away at golf balls with varying degrees of success. Most of my shots were terrible, but occasionally I'd connect cleanly, and the ball would actually fly in something resembling the right direction. "There!" Alexander said when one of my shots sailed straight down the range. "That's what you're aiming for." "Beginner's luck." "Skill," he corrected. "You're getting the hang of it." I lowered the club, my arms already aching. "This is harder than it looks." "Most things are." He picked up his own club, a driver that looked massive compared to my iron. "Want to see how it's actually done?" "Show off all you want." He teed up a ball and took his stance, his movements precise and practiced. The club came back in a smooth arc, paused for a fraction of a second at the top, then whipped down through the ball. The sound of contact was clean and solid, completely different from my pathetic attempts. The ball rocketed down the range, sailing h

    Olivia"Your grandfather knows about the contract," I repeated, keeping my voice casual. "Has known since the day we signed it." "How?" His jaw clenched. "How the hell does he know?" I shrugged, taking another sip of water. The cold liquid felt good against my suddenly dry throat. "He didn't explain the mechanics. Just said he knew. That he'd been watching to see if we'd actually stay together." Alexander set his coffee down. "And Victoria has a copy." "Actually," I leaned forward, "your grandfather didn't seem angry. More like... curious? He said he doesn't care how we got into the marriage. Just whether we'll stay in it." Alexander blinked. "He said that?" "His exact words were that he's waiting to see if what started as business becomes something real." "So he knew all along and just... let us play this out?" "Apparently. He also said I wouldn't have signed the contract if I didn't already like you." "He said that?" "Yep. Pretty much called me too smart to marry someone I

    OliviaHarold finished his coffee and set the cup down with deliberate precision. "Well, aren't you going to play? Or did you just come here to watch an old man drink coffee?" "Actually, I was thinking of showing Olivia the course," Alexander replied. "She's never played before." Harold's eyebrows shot up. "Never? How'd you two get this far without discovering that?" "We've been... busy with other things," Alexander said. I felt heat creep up my neck at the implication in his tone. Harold chuckled, waving his hand dismissively. "Well, better late than never. Alex, show her the basics. I'm heading out anyway." He glanced at his watch. "Got a regular checkup this afternoon. Doctor's orders." "You feeling okay?" I asked, concerned. "Just routine maintenance." He waved off my worry. "When you get to be my age, they like to poke and prod you every few months to make sure all the parts are still working." "Smart to keep up with it," I said. Harold nodded, then fixed me with that sh

    OliviaSunday morning arrived with Alexander already awake, scrolling through his phone in bed beside me. The early light filtering through the curtains cast soft shadows across his bare chest. "What time is it?" I mumbled, still half asleep. "Eight. We should get moving." "Moving where?" I rolled over, burying my face in the pillow. "Golf club. Grandfather wants to see us." He set his phone down, his hand sliding up my spine. "Come on. Up." "Can't we just stay here?" My words came out muffled against the pillow. "No." His fingers traced patterns on my back. "He specifically requested we both come." I groaned but sat up, the sheet falling to my waist. Alexander's eyes darkened immediately, his gaze dropping to my bare breasts. "Don't look at me like that," I warned. "You just said we need to get moving." "Can't help it." His hand cupped my breast, thumb brushing across my nipple. "You're beautiful in the morning." Heat pooled between my thighs despite my exhaustion. "Alex...

    OliviaWhen the song ended, Alexander led me back toward our table, but we were intercepted by a distinguished-looking woman with silver hair. "Dr. Porter," Alexander greeted her warmly. "I'd like you to meet my wife, Olivia. Olivia, this is Dr. Emily Porter, head of the Children's Hospital Founda

    OliviaI arched my back as his thumb continued working my clit while his fingers pumped steadily. "Oh god, right there." "You like that? Like my fingers inside you?" "Yes," I hissed, rocking against his hand. "But I want more." "Greedy girl. Always wanting more." "Can you blame me?" I reached b

    Olivia"Alexander," I moaned as he switched to the other breast, giving it the same attention. One of his hands slid down my stomach to my thong, pushing it aside again to slip a finger inside me. "Fuck, you're so wet," he growled against my skin. "I can't wait to feel this pussy wrapped around m

The sprawling property had been transformed for the occasion, with white roses and delicate fairy li
